Poem 4:

Best Friends Are Like Rain

Poem Summary:

Yoshi-kun and I are best friends.

Nothing will change that.

Even if he is a world renowned assassin that's killed so many people, no one keeps tract anymore.

Yamamoto Tsuyoshi and I have been best friends since we were kids.

I'd like to keep it that way.

Hiya!

Okay, just to be perfectly clear, Yamamoto-san and Nana never had any feelings for each other. Other than friendship, there was nothing, so, I hope non of you interpret it that way, because that was not how I meant for it to come out.

Just friends.

'Kay?

Moving on, I wanted to say that I just randomly made up Nana's real and maiden names because I really do think Nana is just a nickname.

I don'town KHR...

Please enjoy~

God Bless,

Mellow-chan

In the fourth grade,

spring-time haze,

a new boy appeared at school.

His name was

Yamamoto.

Yamamoto Tsuyoshi.

He was from Okinawa,

and he was a dazzling kid,

with dark brown hair,

and sun-kissed skin.

Tsuyoshi loved

kendo.

As strange as it sounds.

And here I find myself,

in front of him now.

He was

an airhead,

but, man,

so was I.

So I waved my hand,

and just said,"bye".

-But Tsuyoshi grabbed my hand,

as tugged me along,

to his family dojo,

where I was

very much forced

into watching

Tsuyoshi spar.

And so, I sat and watched

every swift move.

Here I am,

fascinated,

with his blade's sharp groove.

"Yamamoto-san," I say with a gasp,

"How on earth,

do you move so fast?!"

Yamamoto laughed,

a wonderful, awesome laugh,

and I raised my eyebrow,

and tilted my head.

"Maa, Maa,

Tanaka-san,

don't ask questions,

just watch!"

And so I sat there

for the rest of the day,

until no more sunlight

brightened the way.

And after that yes,

I have to admit,

me and Tsuyoshi,

perfectly fit.

We are in middle school.

Oh, how I loathed the place.

Now it just seems

like life is a race.

I wanna slow down.

Tsuyoshi does too.

So we go by the creek,

and listen to the stream,

and pretend as if,

middle school has yet

to crush our dreams.

And that was right when

he first called me, "Nadeshiko".

(Call me Nana, Tsuyoshi-kun.)

And when

I first called him,"Tsuyoshi".

(Well then, I'm Yoshi, Nana-chan!)

Yamamoto Tsuyoshi

is my best friend.

Nothing will ever change that.

High School, High School-

love is blooming in the air!

It feels so wonderful and fluffy!

I just wish

Yoshi-kun was here,

he's been gone

more often now,

and his girlfriend

has been worried sick!

Poor Kishi-chan!

I don't have a boyfriend,

but maybe soon?

My goodness!

It's been just five years,

after we've left the Collage scene,

but man,

five years, and-

Yoshi's getting married!

To Kishi-chan, of course!

But here I am,

in my bride's maid dress,

and smiling like a fool.

Yoshi-kun,

I'm so happy for him!

So now,

walking behind the bride,

I just can't wait,

just can't wait-!

To see Yoshi's smile!

He's so happy!

And I am too!

I give him a thumbs up,

and he returns the favor.

Yamamoto Tsuyoshi

got married,

but trust me,

we're still best friends.

Kishi-chan turned around,

bouquet in hand.

She thew it high in the air,

then into my grasps!

It's my turn now...

To get married that is!

Yoshi made

Iemitsu promise

he would love me forever.

He's so sweet!

Yoshi really is

my best friend.

Iemitsu is

the love of my life,

but Yoshi,

he'll always be

my greatest pal.

I'm a god mother!

Yes,

I am!

Kishi-chan,

had a small

baby boy,

with dark brown hair

and sun-kissed skin,

and oh-

Takeshi,

that's his name!

Takeshi-

The Warrior!

Tsunayoshi.

That's what

I named my boy.

Tsunayoshi-

for Iemitsu,

and for the

Sawada

Tokugawa tradition.

But also for

Tsuyoshi,

because

they're

both so Strong,

and

they're both

my, "Lucky Ropes."

Kishi-chan

is dead.

I don't

understand.

I don't understand.

Why?

Why did

such a

horrible thing

happen to

Yoshi-kun?

Why?

"I'm an assassin,"

he said.

"I'm involved with the Mafia,"

he said.

"That's why

Kishi died.

I was dumb,

stupid and dumb.

I couldn't protect her.

I fucked up.

God, I fucked up!"

I just sighed

as I held both

Takeshi and Tsunayoshi.

"Yoshi-kun,

Takeshi needs you."

Tsuyoshi looked up,

as if I had

slapped him

in the face, and

he took Takeshi

from my arms, and said,

"Nadeshiko,

I don't want

to hurt you too.

So,

goodbye for now.

But only for now.

I could never

say goodbye forever,

to my best pal."

Both our boys

are all grown up.

Takeshi and Tsunayoshi.

Their good friends.

Best friends,

if you don't count Hayato.

I smile,

as Tsuyoshi

sits next to me,

at their high school

graduation.

We both chatted

for all the years we didn't

and laughed

for all the years we hadn't.

I felt all the loneliness of solitude,

slip away,

when I was talking to

my very best friend.

Hmmm,

Now that

I think about it,

Tsuna had

told me,

"Best Friends are like Rain."

"They was all the pain away."

He was right.

Bye guys!

Make sure to leave pointers if you have any, and tell me what you thought about it!

God Bless,
